Ep. 4 Cy Cain of Straightaway Cocktails on Why Batch Cocktails Can Make Your Life Better

Food People are the Best People

After years of bootlegging for friends, Cy Cain and Casey Richwine knew there must be a better way to enjoy cocktails at home without all the fuss and heavy lifting. In 2018, they co-founded Straightaway, makers of premium ready-to-sip cocktails, and the rest is history. Their bottled and canned cocktails have gone on to win the most prestigious spirit awards, and their new line of house-made amaros, liqueurs, and vermouths has become a favorite with professionals and serious cocktail enthusiasts alike. Host Judiaann Woo talks with Cy about his long-way-round approach to ingredients and and how that standard has contributed to the success of the brand.
